Rahul played one of his most compact defensive innings on the second day but through the course of his innings and stitched a record 201-run first wicket stand with centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Rahul was dismissed after he nicked Starc to wicket-keeper Alex Carey but not before a game-changing contribution.
